| Additional information |
Mühlhausen secured its status as a Free Imperial City in 1256, giving it the right to strike its own coinage — a privilege it exercised well into the fifteenth century through issues like this bracteate denier. Bracteate production in central Germany was by this period already anachronistic; the single-sided, thin-flan technique had peaked two centuries earlier. That Mühlhausen persisted with it speaks to conservative local monetary tradition rather than any technical limitation.
The Bonh#1225 attribution places this within a well-documented Thuringian sequence, cross-referenced against P.K.#633.
